it ever occurred to anybody that we have been overly confident for a long time now?

US Confident Of Deploying Long-Range Hypersonic Weapons 

By 2023-End To Counter China & Russia

Despite grappling with delays, 

unexpected challenges, 

and testing failures, 

US Army officials remain optimistic about the possibility of deploying 

a cutting-edge by the end of 2023.

(Why shouldn't they be?

Everything else seems to be going so well...

Thats sarcasm BTW)

"The United States finds itself in a race to deploy hypersonic weapon capabilities and develop systems for defending against hypersonic missiles."

(Translation?

We dont currently have those systems.) 

"This urgency is driven by both China and Russia’s active development and testing of hypersonic weapons, as these nations vie for dominance in this critical area of military technology."

"In June 2022, the Navy conducted a test launch of an IRCPS missile at the Pacific Missile Range Facility, where the missile experienced an in-flight anomaly affecting data collection for specific flight segments."

(Awesome...that's more sarcasm BTW)
